Mortgage Loan Types Overview
Three main types of mortgage loans were explained: Conventional, VA (Veteran Affairs), and FHA (Federal Housing Administration).
Conventional loans are the most preferred, typically requiring a minimum 5% down payment (some programs allow for 3%), and are less restrictive in qualifications but may be harder to obtain for buyers with lower credit.
VA loans are backed by the federal government, offer 0% down payment, and are available only to veterans and military personnel (example: client Luke Connolly).
FHA loans start at a 3.5% down payment, are government-backed, and have lower credit score requirements; in exchange, borrowers pay increased mortgage insurance both upfront and monthly (example: clients Ahmed and Natasha).
All lenders can support these three loan types.
Decisions
Train via recorded sessions due to scheduling conflicts — Chose to record training for Ivan and Karen rather than in-person meetings, due to difficulties aligning schedules.
Open Questions / Follow-Ups
Further explanation of mortgage types based on property occupancy will be provided in a future session.
